An exploration into why and how Thermopylae is one of the most bloodsoaked patches of ground in history and what its past can tell us about our future.Brilliantly demonstrated. Tom HollandSince the dawn of the Classical Era up to World War II, thousands have lost their lives fighting over the pass at Thermopylae. Historians Cole and Livingston provide an exciting account of each of the 27 battles and holding actions that took place. The epic events of 480 BC when 300 Spartans attempted to hold the pass has been immortalised in poetry, art, literature and film. But no history has ever detailed the other events from the very first battle through to the battles fought by Romans, Byzantines, Huns and Ottomans during the early and late medieval periods and finally the two desperate struggles against German occupying forces during World War II. The Killing Ground details the background and history of each conflict, the personalities and decision making of the commanders, the arms and tactics of the troops, and how each battle played out.Cole and Livingston have surveyed the ground to provide a bootson understanding of each battle. Their command of multiple ancient and medieval languages means they have provided their own translations of much of the source material, ensuring new insights into each battle. This uncompromising scholarship is woven together into a compelling and unforgettable history that grips the reader from start to finish.

This biography is really well-written and informative, but I wish it had more maps or illustrations to help visualize the battle. The narrative is gripping, and the details are thorough, but I found myself wanting to see the battlegrounds. Still a great read if you're into history!

A Bit Dry in Parts
I expected a thrilling account of Thermopylae, but some sections felt a bit dry and dragged on. The author clearly knows their stuff, but it could have been more engaging. If you're really into military history, you'll find value here, but it might not be for everyone.
